The man, who was assaulted, said he has already forgiven the four men who broke into his house. He believes one of the burglars is a previous client.

Police are searching for four men, who they say were wearing hoodies and bandanas to cover their faces.

A neighbor, Robert Nutt, called the incident "very unnerving."

"I had a hard time sleeping last night," Nutt said.

According to police, a man and woman were tied up as four men searched their house on Hill Street.

The man, who was also pistol-whipped during the home invasion, said the burglars searched for jewelry, money and guns. Two children were also inside the house at the time.

The house that was broken into also serves as a barber shop.

"There was state police and Radcliff police all up and down the road. Hardin County sheriffs all down this road. All I saw (was) some police getting out with their automatic weapons," said Nutt. "It's very scary that something like that could happen. This is generally a quiet neighborhood, never really any excitement."

The man who was assaulted suffered minor injuries, but the woman and children were not hurt.

Detectives believe they have recovered most of the guns that the burglars attempted to steal.

"I really feel for those kids, to see something like that and go through it," Nutt said.

Nutt and James Curtsinger said they will change up their routine in the wake of their neighbors' scare.

"I'm going to have things where I can take pictures and an alarm, I'm going to have that installed here," Curtsinger said.

"We've been checking all of our windows and doors over and over. I know they are all locked. We've been keeping an eye outside, watching around the neighborhood, see if we see anything out of the ordinary," Nutt said.
